Ricky Francis Arnold
Dan McClelland
Ricky Francis Arnold, 66, of Morrisonville, N.Y. was set free on July 4, 2023. Born on February 16, 1957 in Tupper Lake, Rickey was the son of Francis and Pearl S. Arnold.
He retired from Jefford’s Steel as a steel fabrication operator.
Ricky joyfully served in the church van and food rescue ministries at First Assembly of God Plattsburgh.
He was a member of the Chazy Lions Club where you’d find him at the french fry station during “Old Home Days,” and a volunteer firefighter at Morrisonville Fire Station. As a young man he worked on the Adirondack Railroad and played on the infamous “ELITE” softball team of Tupper Lake.
Ricky was a generous giver, seen by his 11 gallon lifetime donation to the CVPH Blood Center. His final donation was to Science Care Research.
He is survived by his loving wife Denise Y. Arnold, two sons, Kyle and Matthew Arnold, sister Alanna (Gifford) Fox, Donna (Steve) Hillman, Paula (Kit) Arnold-Baum, nieces, Rebekka Paige, and Rachel Hillman.
He was preceded in death by his parents and first wife, Rene Arnold.
Ricky’s Celebration of Life will be on Friday, August 4 at 3p.m. at First Assembly of God Plattsburgh, NY. Pastor James Miller officiating.
